Looking great NG 
There's no way you're 20% body fat, BTW. When I could see you up close you had some nice detail coming through.

thanks ponyboy. the idiot trainer at my stupid gym says i'm 26%.
i knew it wasn't true but that put me in a bad mood for days! (hmmm...i still get mad when i think about it!)
any little change i see now gets me super motivated all over again. thanks again.

Pics were great!!!I wish my diet journal looked as good as yours.You're doing a helluva job.I think you're awesome like you are,but we're all our own worst critic so keep going 'til YOU"RE happy!!!
NG,
Thanks for the pix- good to put a face & body to all the hard work
Your pix are great. Keep up the good work! I also got a wacky BF analysis from the gym- they might as well have measured a seal.
On your leg concerns- Your legs are very shapely already- just my opinion....
Have you tried some non-weight training/cardio stuff to pop them?
If you are near a field or park- A few soccer drills I used to do included:
> forward and backward hops over a soccer ball, as well as side to side
> side gallops in both directions, jumping as high as you can, from point-to point
> side gallops in both directions, going as fast as you can, from point-to-point
> forward jumping from point-to-point
> backward jumping from point-to-point
> add sprints between each for variety
These really work the leg muscle fibers because you use the whole muscle for vertical and lateral balance the whole time. Just a suggestion for what it's worth...

Thanks TGK! I had been hoping that my legs were "there" and just needed to be leaner but now I'm thinking there isn't much to them. I bet it will be better as I lose more bodyfat but I want to build some more muscle too. Excellent ideas on the sprints etc. I did one contest 10 years ago and I started running stadium bleachers a few months out and that really did seem to help.
How are things on the baby front? When's the due date?
Thanks again!

rks1969 - you're too kind. very true that we're our own worst critics. i tend to swing from thinking i'm doing really well to thinking i look like crap and i have so far to go. (i may actually be insane lol) but it's very true about being our own worst critics!
i also know that the instant i hit one goal i've already forgotten it and got a new one. mostly that's good. 'cept sometimes i do forget that i've made a lot of progress in a pretty short time.
so i'll keep going and try to remember that it's going in the right direction. i doubt i'll ever be patient though. lol

thanks dvlmn. did biceps and calves last night. a bit rushed. had to bake cupcakes for kiddy party at school. she's 8 today. her mom won't do anything so i at least wanted her to have that. (no rant coming, honest)
took all my strength not to eat batter. i decided the frosting might have been too much so i waited and frosted them at school with an audience so i'd be caught in the act. whatever gets ya through....

now that was very sweet of you to do for her.
p.s. great idea on the frosting. good job.
I did calves today and noticed that something I was doing was causing an improvement. But I know you wouldn't like what it is.

The baby front is moving along nicely. My wife had a really easy pregnancy this time around. We've exactly 3 weeks to number two- we're going with Annabelle if she's a girl, and Owen if he's a boy. So far they say girl from the ultrasounds, but my wife's stepsister just had a boy after thinking girl the whole time from ultrasounds.
Thanks for the thoughts.

nope but my 75 rep thingy I put on here does make them grow.
Stairmaster, but on each stair only put half your food so it's like doing a calf raise on each one.
see I know how much you hate cardio that's why I had to tell you that you wouldn't like it.
Mine are puny but growing, the weird part is I have small ankles which makes them look bigger than they are.
been in a funk last few days. i want to lie but i won't - 3 days in a row of small cheats. that sheeeit's messed up! i've snapped out of it though. small things like the back crust part on a piece of pizza....but small stuff i shouldn't be eating.
totally not worth it. feel like crap physically and mentally when i stray from the plan. can't believe i did something like that 3 days in a row.
got my head together again. probably didn't do too much damage to myself since the quantities were small but i know it probably still set me back even if i can't really see it.
over now. done. no more illicit nibbling

Stoppin in to day HI-
IF there is not too much you can do to help whatever the situation is anyway and you can find a way to deal with the home front situation, whatever it is, good luck.
it is a very positive thing that you realize there isn't much you can do. At this point most people will still try to do or say or invest too much, which usually only hurts the ones who are doing too much. Keep a safe distance from any action of you can until you see how you fit in- if you are actually part of a solution- concentrate on doing your best at that part, but remember what your gut said earlier on and keep measuring against it--
"not much I can do" -if this is true, then dont get hung up.....
Best of luck.
Oh, and kick your legs asses too...

last night was legs. i know now that without question i need to do squats. i hate them but i need to and i will. my hamstrings were sore on my first set of leg curls which never happens - ever. had to be because i started with squats.
SQUATS
12 x 65
3 x 10 x 95
2 x 6 x 105
EXTENSIONS
10 x 60
8 x 60
8 x 50
LYING LEG CURLS
12 x 50
2 x 8 x 60
SEATED LEG CURLS
2 x 10 x 105
12 x 105
I should have finished with stiff legged deadlifts instead of these seated leg curls but my hams were so sore that I decided to go with these last night. Will but the stiff legged deadlifts back in though. Thought I'd not push it since I did 6 sets of squats after not doing them for ages and I was really feeling it.
